This is the Ground Observations discussion thread for the 2011-2012 season of the Hornby webcam Eagles!It is a place to post observations, fotos & videos of Mum Dad & their Eaglets, as observed from the ground.

To read all about what happened a year ago today, & the whole year that followed,

Well, today is traditionally the day that Mum & Dad return to Hornby.i biked by the Nest neighbourhood at noon & at 4pm today, but so no sign of the Eagles in any of their usual perch trees.i was out in my garden all afternoon, & my ears were wide open, but i heard no sound of Eagles.

Okay, we did another loop through the neighbourhood this morning at 9:30.It was very windy, & threatening rain all day.There were lots of white caps out on the water.i saw no sign of any big dark birds with white heads & tails.

Thanks booni! I have been looking skywards around here too and have seen no signs of those whiteheads either!

ETA: Trills were first heard on cam last year on October 2nd. Dad was spotted by Mishi early in the morning in the Peters' Tree on this date last year, and trills were heard on cam a couple of times during the day.
